Itinerary

01

Day 1: Las Vegas - Zion National Park

Leaving the bright lights of Las Vegas behind, your next destination is Zion National Park. The highlight of any visit to Zion is the hike along the switch-back trails up to Angels Landing, for incredible views over the park and valley floor below. Take your packed lunch with you, so you can relax as you tuck in at the top, savouring the incredible views. Tonight, head into Springdale town to sample some of the local restaurants.

Day 2: Monument Valley

With a free morning to venture back into Zion, why not try a short walk to the Emerald Pools? Or, if you don't mind getting wet, try walking The Narrows, a slot canyon which offers a very different experience. Then it's back on the road again and off to one of North America's most iconic landscapes. Monument Valley was used as the set for countless Western movies, including the recent remake of The Lone Ranger. Jump on your 4x4 backroads tour for an experience with a Navajo guide, to really get under the skin of this fantastic place.

Day 3: Grand Canyon National Park

Passing through the Painted Desert you'll make your way to the Cameron Trading Post sat on top of the Little Colorado River Gorge. Today will define the word 'epic' as you stop off at the mighty Grand Canyon National Park. Nothing you've ever seen before will prepare you for this spectacular sight! Today there’s time to explore the rim trails or walk down into the canyon along the Bright Angel Trail for a view that just 5% of visitors to the Grand Canyon ever have the chance to see. To really see the Grand Canyon in all its glory, wait for sunset, where the scenery will amaze!Please note: If you plan on enjoying a flight over the Grand Canyon we are at the mercy of when we can fly, so your flight may be this afternoon as opposed to tomorrow morning. This will unfortunately reduce the amount of time you spend walking the trails however, it does give you a very different and all-encompassing view of the canyon.

Day 4: Grand Canyon National Park - Route 66 - Las Vegas

Catch a bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon on an optional scenic helicopter flight before making your way back to Las Vegas via the famous Route 66. Time to put those lucky numbers to the test in this 24/7 party town. If you're staying on to explore Vegas, why not cruise the Strip in a super-stretch limousine or ease the pain in one of the famous all-you-can-eat buffets? Vegas isn't all about gambling and clubs – you could check out a show, take an evening flight down the Strip or get yourself hitched by Elvis Presley (don't worry, it's not legally binding - unless you want it to be!)This trip normally concludes late in the afternoon of day 4. In order to make sure you catch your flight, we suggest you book an extra post tour hotel night in Las Vegas and enjoy your last night out on the town.
